All the sliced chilli, garlic, bacon and butter to the mixing bowl. Cook for 5min at Varoma temperature on "Counter-clockwise operation" speed 1 (measuring cup off). Scrape down sides.

Add canned tomatoes, beer and paprika to the mixing bowl. Place Varoma tray with mussels on top. Cook for 20min at Varoma temperature on

speed 1. Extend cooking time if required until mussels are opened and cooked.

Serve mussels in bowls topped with sauce. You may like to top with chopped parsley and serve with warm crusty buttered bread. Enjoy!

Tip

Can make dairy-free if substitute oil or dairy-free margarine for the butter.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
